In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Central downtown location — A minute's walk from Gamal AbdAlNasser metro and close to downtown attractions. Guests mention walking to the Egyptian Museum and Khan El Khalili.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No lift to the third floor — The hostel is on the third floor and guests may need to use the stairs, as the lift is not always reliable.
- Building entrance is uninviting — The street-level entrance is off-putting, though the hostel itself is a pleasant surprise once you reach the third floor.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window — Check-in is only from 12:30 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for very late arrivals.

8.3Verified guest“When I got to the hotel, I thought I had been cheated – the building entrance is terrible. But when I arrived on the third floor, where the hotel is located, I had a good surprise. The employees are pleasant and polite. The room is huge and very clean. I recommend this hotel without doubt, especially for those who don't care about the building's appearance or climbing three floors using stairs – I wasn't brave enough to take the lift.”
